Farage: £50bn Brexit bill is incredibly bad value for money
Nigel Farage let rip at the latest reincrease increase in the sum being offered to the European Union by the UK due to Brexit.
He told Good Morning Britain that “a £50 billion Brexit bill is incredibly bad value for money.”
He said: “I don’t think we should be paying anything like that.”
He attacked the EU for its hefty demands and said Brussels should slash its spending.
He said: “We are leaving the EU with 16% of their income and they are refusing to cut any of their future spending plans.”
“Effectively if your family income goes down next year you choose a cheaper holiday.”
During a committee session in the European Parliament last week he warned Brussels that despite the EU taking “absolutely no account” of Britain leaving the EU in its budget, the Brexit divorce settlement is “not in the bag.”
He told his fellow MEPs that “Christmas has come early. The British government is going to shell out a cool £50 billion as part of our exit proceedings which, if you think about it, is all really rather odd, isn’t it?
'It's not worth it!' Nigel Farage rages over Brexit divorce bill
“When we look at the 2018 budget or the commission projections going on for the next few years, we see that absolutely no account is being taken of the British leaving the European Union.
“You’ve decided to simply carry on regardless and it would appear, that in a very weak moment, the British Prime Minister has decided to bail you out for it. Well I would just say - don’t bank on it”
Although he said that the latest proposed Brexit divorce bill is yet to be confirmed, he thinks “we may be at a point now where some compromise will come but it will come at a very high price.”
